Why this degreaser earns its place
Where the ready-to-use bottle is built for grab-and-go convenience, this concentrate is built for volume and cost control. Diluted at 1:38, the professional-strength formula makes light work of heavy grease soiling on cookers, hoods, filters, floors, walls, doors and drains, and is safe for use on aluminium as well as other kitchen surfaces.
A pleasant lemon scent tackles bad odours as it cleans, leaving surfaces smelling fresh rather than just looking clean – useful in kitchens where lingering grease smell is as much of an issue as the grease itself.
The maths on a 5 litre concentrate bottle is worth knowing: it makes approximately 250 x 750ml spray bottles, or 50 x 5 litre buckets, once diluted – a substantial supply from one container, with less packaging waste than buying it pre-diluted. It's classed as corrosive in its concentrated form, so handle and store it accordingly.
COSHH: six habits of safe chemical use
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health — the routine every commercial kitchen and cleaning cupboard is expected to run.
SDS
Read the label and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet — the pictograms tell you what you are holding.
Who could be harmed, and how badly? Judge likelihood against severity before anyone opens the cap.
Eliminate or substitute first, engineer and organise next — PPE is the last line, never the first.
Keep the controls working: check ventilation, dosing equipment and storage stay as they should be.
Everyone who uses it knows the hazards, the correct dilution and the PPE — before the first shift, not after.
Products and processes change. Reassess when they do, and keep the record that proves it.
